MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1SS0.
A VERY OLD CHESTO
F0U5D IS THE MARKET OF A SEW
YORK TKSEMEXT BOISE.
Tte Closing Chapters or a Sensa
tional Story Tbat Was lieguu
la England.
New Yobk, Noyemter 2. The New
Yoik Herald baa found the Tiehborne
claim ant in a pliable aUte of illness
and poverty. He was in a little room
over a Bma'l optician's shop in Fourth
avenne. Ha baa ben lying there on
his back (or more than two rxiontbe,
Buffering ihe pains of blood poisoning
and the thousand nsmeleeeills of pov
erty. Whether he be Mr Roger Tieh
borne, grievously unfortunate Daronet,
Arthur Orton, or Thomas Castro, the
Australian butcher, thisman'a life hea
been a strange, eventful history. The
eate in which be fhured as the claim
ant was one f the most celebrated on
record, and fifteen yesrs ego it made a
great atir in the wo.-ld. But the world
soon forgets. List ) uly so few people
remembered the case that acsrcely a
corporsl's guard coald be mustered in
a theater to bear the claimant 'tell bis
story. The tale, in brief, is this: In
'1858 Roger Tichboroe, eldest son of
Sir James Tiehborne, having fallen
in love with his cousin, Kate
Doughty, and got into much trouble
with his family thereby, aald nut his
commiesion in the army and went to
South America. Ha wandered aboat
that eonntry for nearly a year, leading
an adventurous li'e.and :n April, 1854,
ha embarked at Rio on the ship Bslla
for Kingston. The Bella left port bn
the 20th of Aniil and never ws seen
afterward. Bits of wreckage were
picked np six dsys afler ahe sailed,
and the Bella waa stricken off the
books at Lloyds. Everybody bnt Lady
Tiehborne believed that Roger'a bonea
were whitening in Davy Jones's lock
er, a hundred fa horns deep, off the
Braiilian coast. Sir James died in
1862, and Lady Tiehborne began to
advertise for hr eldest son. In 1807
a man called Thomas Castro, who had
been a butcher near Sydney, turned
np in Ermiand, Baid thttt he was Roger
Charles Tiehborne, and instituted suits
to recover the Tiehborne and Doughty
estates, worth 75,000 a year; He fai led
to establish bis daim, was tried fur
perjnry, ccnvietd and sentenced to
fourteen years' penal servitude. But
by many his story was still believed,
and bis counsel, Mr. Kenealy, never
abandoned the conviction that the
claimant was the legal heir to the Tieh
borne ettates. A Ticbbarne Release
Association was foimed, and popular
subscriptions were started to defray
the eipeLss if hunting npmissirg
links of evidence and reopening the
case. When the fourteen years of
imprisonment bad expired the claim
ant came out, etill callirg himself
Tiehborne, and bpgan a lecturing tour
to raise money. Naturally he turned
his face toward the Mecca of all En
glish nen who hope to make money
out of whatever feme or notoriety
they may have acquired. Visions of
crowded houses, large receipts and a
triumphal tour allured him. a beg
garly account of empty benches
greeted him, and he dropped out of
sight in a few days. His iriends were
soon exhausted, and no manager coald
be found to take tbe risk of piloting
him through the country. Ho one
morning the claimant paid his hotel
bill and disappeare-d. Misfortune fol
lowed h!m into the humble lodg
ing to wh'ch be retreated with
his wife. A child was born to
them and in month it died.
Then the claimant fell ill and
was disabled from doing anything for
a living. He made a few dolla'B by
writing or providing tbe facts for
somebody else to write stories of Hfa
in the Anttralian diggings for the
newspaper?, bat his tales were not
snccesslul. Then the claimant's wife,
a younar woman who had been a sing
er in London, Eouk'Ut an engagement
under an assumed came, and for a
few weeks she sang and danced in the
concert balls of the Bowery, earning
just enough to live upon. She admit
ted your correspondent to the room,
which served as bedroom, parlor and
kitchen, where the ponderous form of
the claimant was stretched upon tbe
bed. Disease and worry have left
their marks upon tlte man, but he is
still anything bat emaciated. A thin
growth of gray hair and beard sur
round liia heavy countenance, but he
bears bis GO years as well as most
men. He seemed elsd to see a visitor,
and talked freely about bis affairs. ' I
thought I was going to get out to
day, be said, "bat just as I was
aiout to drees, in popped the doc
tor and ordered me lack to
bed. I've been here tight weeks
now, and he says I must stay two or
three weeks more. I want to get to
work soon, vou know, because doc
tor's services are expensive, and tak
ing mod; cine is like drinking cold.
My wife has been earning something
to support us. but she has no engage
ment now. She was to have begun in
one. of the gaidens egain, but tbe
police have arreBted tbe managers and
closed their places; to that is at an
end." The claimant's wife, who, if
his cause be j tier, is entitled to call
herself Lady '1 clibom and ought to
be living in the luxury of an expen
sive English establishment, is a slight,
dark .woman of the type commonly
seen .n the variety (.log?. Her ac
complishments consist of the knowl
edge ef . a few tonga and the ability to
dance. To these are added no great
charms of personal appearance. She
is merely commonplace. iBut the
quiet,,. unpretentious woman seems de
voted to the elephantine enigma
whose misfortunes she shares. All the
work of the bumble housekeeping
falls upon ber. She takes care
of tbe sick man, cooks the meals and
does all tbe iittls things tbat iall to
the lot of a poor man's wife. The
heavy, somewhat stolid countenance
of the claimant lights up with a kindly
smile when, he eptaks to ber. He was
divorced from his first wife in Eng
land, but iin the variety aotrees he
. teems to have f ound a congnia1 mate.
Ji singular thing ab nt the claimant
.is bis ability to make one believe in
this earnestness. H he be tbe greatest
humbug of (the age, be is the most
persistent and . consistent. Fourteen
years in prison have .not dampened
hie spirits or turned -him from his
purpose. He talks as though be wer
the undisputed .heir to tue estates,
and asserts that lie will reopen the
esse. as soon as ihe can collect the
nececrary fnnd. I'arl onent pained
an aet confirming the verdict of the
jury, but he Bays tbat can be set aside
easily .because only nine members
were in the House when the ill went
IhrougU, and tbe law requires forty to
be present. In tbe old case Lie pa) 8
he had the Jesuits against him. Tbey
had taken tbe nephew, to whom the
prrvperty reverted, and proposed to
make him a member of their order,
and so obtain tbe Doughty estate,
which is held in fee simple. "But
tbe young chap," says tht claim
ant, "is nearly of age, and is
showing the T.chborne blood. He
will not take orders, and so the Jes
uits will have no object in fighting
me Spain. Tne religions fei-ling that.
uixii" tbe contest sj bit'er before will
be wantinvofxt time. Yon ton that
when I was a yonn? man I cflended
Bishop Grant by threatening to make
a billiard room nut of the chapel on
tbe es'ate, and I suppose my out
rageous conduct, as they called it,
made the Cburcu my mpniy." Re
garding the iichboroB Rttlief Associa
tion and its work, he says: "In 1877
the aeswatim collected 10,000 to
be used in my beha'f, but as true as I
am hera I never got one cent of it.
What became of the money can only
be surmieed." Evidently the claim
ant ha; not been helped much by the
association. Doubtless some of the
money was ustd in searching for evi
dencs and keeping up the interest in
the case. It is claimed that ths log of
tbe Osprey, the myaterious barken
tine tbat eluded all ti e ed orta of de
tectives to discover her history and
whereabouts during the trial,
has been obtained lrom the mate,
McKay, and is now in the posses
sion of Secretary Gray, of the asso
ciation. It Is upon this ehadowy log
of a pbantom ship that the claimant
bases bis hopes u reversing the judg
ment of Lord Cockburnaod ths acts
cf Parliament, and eetabl shiog his
identity as Roger Crarlea Tiehborne.
Meanwhile he is growing old in pov
erty and plar.nins: impossible tours,
with a combination of variety per
formers to fill his empty purse. He is
not an entertaining lectarer, bnt he
labrra nnder tbe delusion that he can
bold audiences spell-bound for hours
with bis powers of oratory and the
narrative of his strange career. Tbe
little concert hall singer sticks to him,
believes in him, and does her best to
lighten the load of his adversity, hop
ing for better times by and by, when
the one poor roons shall be ex
changed for baronial halls.

AS I CAME DSWH FROM I.EBAKOS
As I came down from Lebanon,
Coma winding, wandering slowly down,
' Through mountain passcsbleak and brown,
Ihe cloudless day waa well nigh done.
Tbe city, like an opal aet
In emerald, showed eaoh minaret
Afire with radiant beams of sun.
And glUtened orange, fig end lime
Where song birds made melodious chime.
As I came down from Lebanon.
A I mint down from Lebanon,
Like lava in the golden glow.
Through olive orchards far below
I saw the murmuring rivorrnn;
And 'noath the wait upon the sand
Swart sheiks fiom distant Hainaroand,
With preoious spices they had won,
Lay long and languidly in wait
Till thoy had pawed the guarded gate,
As I came down trom Lebanon.
As I came down from Lebanon
1 saw strange men from lands afar
e In moB'ine and square and gay bazaar;
The Maui that the Moslem shun.
And grave Kfiendi from tStainboul,
VV ho sherbet tipped in corners cool,
And from the baloouiea o'errun
VV ith roses, gleamed the tyes of those
Who dwell in still seraglios,
As I came down from Lebanon.
As I came down from Lebanon
The tl uning glow of doytiiue died,
And Nivht, arrayed as is a bride
Of some great king in garments spun
Of purple and the nct gold,
Outblooiued in glories manifold,
Until the moon, above the dun
And darkening desert,. void of shade,
Shone like a keen Damascus blade,
Ai I came down from Lebanon.

Wildberger Promoted-Other
Southern Rail Kens.
The meeting of the City Council to
be held tomorrow will be an import
ant one for the railroRtls. The ques
tion of tbe belt lrne rixht of way will
be discussed, and the Missouri Pacific
will make application fur light of way
into the city.
Judge R. J. Morgan, tbe attorney of
the company, sneaking of the matter
yesterday, said : "We do not ask much.
All we deeiieNtW. an entrance, and I
think the meniUS" of ths City Gov
ernment are favorably dif posed toward
ns. Mr. Gould was vety kindly
treated when he visited the city and
assured of the existence of a disposi
tion to extend him eqnal facilities
with other railroads, the cress ng,
which, as you know, will be made at
a paint considerably lower down than
that of the Kanaa City Company,
will be much more advantageous, I
thick. The ascent from the river
bank will be 20 per cent, easier,
an advantage of no little im
portaace. I am much pleased
with the grounds the company
recently purchased. Thsre are about
ten acres in the p'a. It cost more
than tbe grounds of the Kansas City
company, because property is higher
now than it was then, aud I am in
clined to believe, too, tbat so far as
yards are concerned e have Ihe ad
vantage over most if the ether roads."
"What have you done with your
belt line?"
"Nothing as yet. We are anxious
to get tbe right of way into the city
fits', and then we will take up the belt
line and talk about a nnion depot,
too."
"What is your idea about the loca
tion of a depot?"
"The Missouri Pac'.fis would prefer
to have it situated somewhere in tbe
eastern portion of the city, but I an
obliged to confess tbat it looks now as
if South Memphis were tbe proper
place to put it. The depots of seven
companies are a'l in that locality and
within a etoro's throw of each other.
In fact, tbe Louisville and Nashville
is the only line which would bs put to
any expense should it be built on Cal
houn street"

There are few young railroaders in

cited by reports of tbe rapid construc

with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe. This road is to be constructed
from Fayetteville to Argent a, acrcss

twenty five miles of the grade is fin

Bnathtrat Kail road Development.
A great stride toward improvement
has been made in the South within
the past few years. Not to particular
ize too tediously, it may be pointed
out that in tbe Suthera group of
States, as clessified in Poor' t Manual,
ttin mileage increesed from 12,978 in
1879 to 20,584 miles in 1885, sn im
provement unf quailed anywhere, ex
cept in tbe Western group of S ate?.
Besides this the gauge of many of tbe
roads has only recently been made to
conform to the standard, and in other
ways many of the Southern companies
are fully alive to the necessities of the
times,
' Ztrnioliala tbe Move.
The coal stove and Ihe kerrsene
lamp should be excluded by law from
railroad passenger cars, and every car
should carry the best appliances for
breaking open a car and extinguish
ing fire. Immediately af er the col
lision at Spuvien Duyvll, in 1882, the
negligence of railroad companies with
regird to tbess things was denounced
in many ( flicial utteiance". "The
present means of heatit.g at. d lighting
railway cars," eaid Gov. Cornell in his
special message, "is a standing menace
to the lives of paseengere." By tbe
coroner's jury the officers of the Cen
tral road were sharply censured for
not providing implements to be u?ed
in retelling passengers and means for
extinguishing fire. A giand jury sit
ting in tbe following month made a
presentment, in which tbe use of min
eral oil in car lamps was opposed, and
in which it was said tbat "the beating
of cais by direct radiation from stoves
with coal fires should be abolished
and appliances should be introduced
for beating by steam, hot air or hot
watcr, to be conducted into the cars
by pipes and coils from reservoirs out
side the cars."
